Which is better and What is the difference between, Node-locked license and DevOps license (Katalon Runtime Engine)
@ Jass
For DevOps, along with the License do you provide a Cloud as well?
Hey!
Could you help me find the information.
Is it need to have a KSE on a machine that will run KRE?
Thanks!
KSE is for test development, and KRE is for test execution. You donât need to have an KSE on the machine that runs tests with KRE.
Ok.
And what about licence? Could I use KRE when the lic will end?
Is Internet need on the machine with KRE for running?

Youâre recommended to read this announcement regarding the consolidation of both Katalon Runtime Engine DevOps and Floating licenses into one licensing offering, Floating .

Hallo there. Can someone please elaborate on the difference between KRE and an Agent? It seems like they overlap?
In-fact, I have an Agent with a KS Free installed, and I get in the log the errors:
[2021-03-23T12:30:42.171Z] [DEBUG]: Your trial has expired. Please subscribe to continue using Katalon Runtime Engine.
Is it correct to say that Agent+(KS-GUI) = KRE ?
Thanks!
Hi. I downloaded Katalon Studio Engine 7.9 for mac. But after I clicked the installation package, it would crash and no thing would show. Could you please help me?
When installing Katalon Runtime Engine or Katalon Studio for macOS, we recommend putting the packages in the Applications folder before using them.
I followed your advice but still met the same problem. Hereâs the video that I tried to install the Katalon Runtime Engine. It should be more clear to show my problem.
Thank you!
Hi @yuan.wan
You need to open the terminal and navigate to the folder of the Applications folder (macOS).
Enter the following syntax to execute automation test on macOS::
cd /Applications/Katalon\ Studio\ Engine.app/Contents/MacOS
./katalonc --args {option1} {option2} ... {optionN}
You can learn further how to execute Katalon tests using Runtime Engine in this document. The Command Builder is particularly helpful if youâre new to Katalon.

Hi
âKSE is for test development, and KRE is for test execution. You donât need to have an KSE on the machine that runs tests with KRE.â
So please update document :
Prerequisites:
- You need a Runtime Engine (RE) license to activate ANd run Katalon Studio (KS) or Katalon Studio Enterprise (KSE) in console mode
So not AND but OR.
Thank you in avance.
Best Regards.
